Zenit To Make A Comeback, Aims At Leica?

I will be curious to see how they plan to take on Leica in that luxury camera maker market.

The X200 will be brilliant! I wish they would stick to the 23mm focal length though, maybe just update that lens so that it is a bit more sharp wide open. The announcement of the X200 just means I’ll be trading in my X100 for a discounted X100S or T when the time comes.

I’m with you on the 23mm. I hope they keep it.
I checked an X100T once thinking it would make a good second camera but I found it way too soft for my taste at F2 so I hope the next one will be better. At 700$ I wouldn’t have minded but not at 1300$
